NoNoise allows the Prosonus

engineers to record any audio source
digitally onto four gigabytes of hard disk
storage and display it on a Macintosh
computer screen. In this way, both con¬
tinuous and momentary noises can
quickly and accurately be reduced or
eliminated without affecting the audio
program. The NoNoise system reduces
tape hiss and other continuous sounds
using computer routines that leave other
sounds untouched. This is especially
useful in the case of film dialog.
